Post Malone’s sophomore album Beerbongs & Bentleys debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart this week, marking the Texas-bred rapper’s first chart-topping LP. Now, the 22-year-old has surpassed the Billboard record for the most simultaneous hits in the Hot 100’s Top 20, which was previously held by The Beatles and J. Cole.
According to Billboard, the “Rockstar” artist currently has nine songs in the Hot 100’s Top 20, beating out Cole and The Beatles who were tied at six. The British pop legends had held the record since 1964. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]

Beerbongs & Bentleys serves as his follow-up to 2016’s Stoney, which has been on the Billboard 200 for the past 73 weeks.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
RIP music
Why?
because denny and ambrose are both people that proof that a lot of idiots also listen to music. And because there to many of them. People like post malone (a okay entertainer) become famous.
The same idiots that made the Paul family famous…
This is nowhere near what The Beatles actually did as far as the record charts is concerned. Fucking garbage ass music with the garbage ass ‘accomplishments’. When he does what the Beatles did with actual record sales with strictly nothing but radio then we can talk breaking records.
These aren’t garbage ass records (that’s j Cole’s that’s garbage), those are dope records.
Quality aside, he achieved it Beatles style. Radios are playing it and he’s selling records
No way you could compare this album to J. Cole’s, and no ways is this in any category with the Beatles. If you think radio play and records is your validation then you’re part of the problem.
Post malone is in a class of his own, certainly better than j cole and that sexist, chris brown. When was the last time this chris brown fool had a hit?
I don’t hate him or anything, he makes at least halfway descent songs. But man I just don’t understand this guys appeal.
Hes not appealing to the pretentious crowd. He makes fun music. And its dope
Yeah but back in the day People actually bought the music. Streaming ruined Music
Dx are you fucking idiots are what..gtfoh
This is dope info, I’m black and I love Post. He makes dope music, I’m really happy for all his accomplishments. Legend in the making.
He will always be the guy in the daisy duke shorts to me lol
I have never heard of Post Malone. Sorry. And I think that in 10 years time nobody who knows him today will care. The Beatles sold records, he simply gets credit for streams. All the Beatles had was radio and a few channels on the TV. He has global social media today. It is not the same. The Beatles music is still popular almost 60 years after their first hit. Post Malone in 60 years time? No, I don’t think so.
Last I checked 1000 streames count as 1 sale, so i think its pretty even there. Also, he had the #1 spot on the billboard charts for 6 weeks. Theres no way you havent heard at least one of this guys songs. Stop being ignorant and give his music shot!
This is retarded it boastes his new song has 133million views and sits at number 5 while freaky Friday had 210 million and is number 12 this shit is rigged
Okay? It’s 2018, much of the world has internet and access to music they never could get their hands on in 60s. These records don’t mean very much in my honest opinion. The music industry market isn’t comparable today from the 60s.
Nah, we really don’t care. We all know it’s apples and oranges.
lol so white folk taking over hiphop too smh
Nah…on your legend comment and your Numbers Don’t Lie comment. Numbers Lie all the time, and they damn sure don’t make you!
He wasn’t born in Texas and I definitely wouldnt categorize him as a rapper. Do the people writing this have any clue who they write about?
Talk about comparing apples to atomic (or should I say album) bombs.
This dude has to have all the cheat codes on lock for this crap. I’ve literally never met a single person who bumps his shi, and almost everything I’ve ever heard from him is garbage but you expect me to believe he’s breaking records.
